dirktoggler Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) Item: Musical Fidelity V3 Xponents and a Little Pinkie V3 PSU. Location: Brisbane Price: Priced individually - see below. Will do a bundle price on multiple items. Item condition: all in good condition, some marks on the X-DAC. Reason for sale: Simplifying my set-up / going minimalist. Payment method: Pick up – cash, Paypal, COD. Extra info: For sale are 4 x MF Xponents – X-LPS V3, X-CANS V3, X-DAC V3 (Sold) and X-PSU V3 and a Little Pinkie V3 PSU. Please take note: DAC sold to a member with an X-PSU V3. I have one stock wall wart, a Little Pinkie V3 PSU and the X-PSU. Happy to pair the Pinkie with either the LPS or CAN amp, and / or sell the X-PSU V3 separately. The X-PSU can power 4 units simultaneously and is what I have been using with 3 X-ponents. The power supply from the Pinkie and X-PSU provides sonic improvements over the stock wall warts - each review I read made it clear that this was the case, and it proved to be the case to my ears as well. X-CANS V3 – bought off a UK seller and had it shipped to Mike at rockgrotto.co.uk and had him give it the full mod package and new valves in 2011. I bought the Little Pinkie V3 power supply off Mike at the same time and he obviously deemed the wall wart excess to requirements and did not forward it to me. This is a solid can amp that drives my Sennheiser HD 650’s very well, and is reported to have enough juice to drive most cans with ease. I would have used this for 2-300hrs maximum in that time. It has seen little action in the last three years, just the odd late night movie. Sings when combined with the X-PSU or Pinkie vs the stock wall wart. In good condition, some minor marks. $220. X-LPS V3 MM / MC phono pre-amp. Bought locally and came with original box and wall wart – UK plug + AU adapter. I have used this with both MM and MC cartridges and it performs well with both. Better clarity was achieved by replacing the wall wart with a Pinkie and then the PSU. In good condition, some minor marks. $220 SOLD X-DAC V3 – purchased with no box or wall wart in early 2019. The absence of the wall wart was the reason it was up for sale. I had a spare connection on my X-PSU so no problem. It works fine with both optical and coax inputs. Reviews at the time of its release regarded the unit well. It was suggested it took the performance of the matching X-RAY V3 CDP to another level. It is outperformed by my Audiolab M-DAC but not by a long way considering this is 10+yrs its junior. In average to good condition, has some obvious marks on the front fascia from some type of tape and some scratches. $150. X-PSU V3 – this power supply unit can feed up to 4 Xponents – 4 original cables and box included. Takes the sonic signature of the each of the above to a higher level. If you own more than one X-Ponent, it is worth having. In good condition. $300. Little Pinkie V3: in good condition. Worth the upgrade on the wall wart for a single X-Ponent. $150 if as a separate sale, if combined with an exponent $100. These sell for $135quid / $260 before shipping from the UK. Extras: I have an additional pair of Russian tubes for the can amp that I bought off Mike at some point. They are still in their boxes, unused. If the buyer of the can amp is interested, they can be had for an additional $45. If someone buys all of the components, I’ll throw the valves in for free. Otherwise they will go up on the classifieds at a later time. If buying the X-PSU and another component I will throw in a longer cable (2m) that I also bought through Mike. These permitted a greater sprawl of boxes around my cabinet as the four stock cables are all the same length (<1m). If wanted individually, they would be $20 each or $30 for both. I have photos of the sides of the units which show a few scratches here and there. I'm not trying to hide them, I just didn't want to bore everyone with lots of side shots. Happy to send them to you if you are interested. Please PM with queries, EOI's as I am not at my computer a lot at the moment, and without alerts from the old app, I am slow to check in. Postage will be at buyers expense. Pictures: Edited January 4, 2020 by dirktoggler
